Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coding devices, and more specifically, to a double-sided coding device for a butterfly cover. Background Technology
[0002] In the production and processing of butterfly caps, to achieve product traceability and quality control, it is necessary to assign codes (such as engraving QR codes) to the inner and outer caps and complete data collection and association. However, existing butterfly cap coding devices have many limitations:
[0003] On the one hand, traditional equipment often cannot simultaneously code the inner and outer lids, requiring a "two-stage coding" process. This involves coding one side of the butterfly lid first, then manually or mechanically flipping the lid over to code the other side. This method not only increases process complexity, extends production cycle, and reduces production efficiency, but may also affect coding accuracy due to posture deviations during the flipping process.
[0004] On the other hand, existing devices lack stability in the conveying process. The butterfly cap is prone to skewing and positional shifts during transport, leading to inaccurate coding positions and reducing the coding pass rate. Furthermore, data collection is often conducted in stages: data is collected after coding one side, then again after coding the other side. The data collected from these two stages requires manual or software-based correlation, which is susceptible to inaccurate correlation due to timing deviations and positional errors, affecting the reliability of product traceability. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a butterfly cover double-sided coding device to solve the technical problems existing in the background art.
[0006] This utility model provides a butterfly cap double-sided coding device, including a frame, a clamping and conveying assembly, a limiting assembly, a laser coding device and a coding reader, all mounted on the frame.
[0007] The butterfly cover from the vibratory feeder enters the frame in an open and flat state. The clamping and conveying assembly clamps the part of the butterfly cover that does not need to be marked, and the limiting assembly limits the marked part. When the clamping and conveying assembly conveys the butterfly cover, the marked part slides on the limiting assembly.
[0008] The frame is provided with a first clearance groove for installing the clamping and conveying component and a second clearance groove for exposing the coding part. The laser coder and the code reader are arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the butterfly cover. There are two sets of laser coders and code readers arranged symmetrically and distributed on the upper and lower sides of the coding part of the butterfly cover.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the conveying speed of the clamping and conveying assembly is greater than that of the vibratory feeder.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the clamping and conveying assembly includes an upper electric clamping belt and a lower electric clamping belt, which move synchronously.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the limiting component includes a limiting track disposed along the butterfly cover conveying direction.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the limiting track includes a bent limiting plate that limits the edge of the butterfly cover.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the system further includes a rejection assembly, which includes a pneumatic rejection element and a receiving trough disposed opposite to the pneumatic rejection element.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model's technical solution are:
[0015] This solution's butterfly cap double-sided coding device achieves simultaneous double-sided coding and data acquisition through symmetrically arranged laser coding and reading units, eliminating the need for traditional secondary coding and flipping processes, significantly improving efficiency and avoiding the impact of posture deviations on accuracy. The clamping and conveying components work together with the limiting components to ensure stable and offset-free butterfly cap transport, improving the coding pass rate. The speed difference design avoids product overlap interference, and the rejection component automatically and accurately separates defective products, reducing labor costs.

Detailed Implementation
[0021] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The embodiments of the present invention are given for the purpose of illustration and description, and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the present invention to the disclosed forms. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments were chosen and described to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of the present invention, and to enable those skilled in the art to understand the present invention and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for a particular purpose.
[0022] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the present invention provides a butterfly cover double-sided coding device, including a frame 3, a clamping and conveying assembly 4 disposed on the frame 3, a limiting assembly, a laser coding device 11 and a coding reader 12.
[0023] The clamping and conveying assembly 4 clamps the part of the butterfly cover that does not need to be marked, and the limiting assembly limits the marked part 18. When the clamping and conveying assembly 4 conveys the butterfly cover, the marked part 18 slides on the limiting assembly.
[0024] In the above scheme, after being arranged by the vibratory feeder 1, the butterfly cover enters the frame 3 from the straight discharge section 2 in an open and flat state. The clamping and conveying component 4 selectively clamps the part that does not need to be marked, while the limiting component constrains the marking part 18. During the conveying process, the marking part 18 slides forward along the limiting component. Through the targeted clamping and limiting separation design, the stable conveying of the butterfly cover is ensured, while the marking part 18 is fully exposed, providing a basis for subsequent double-sided synchronous operation.
[0025] The frame 3 is provided with a first clearance groove 9 for installing the clamping and conveying component and a second clearance groove 10 for exposing the coding part 18. The laser coder 11 and the code reader 12 are arranged sequentially along the butterfly cover conveying direction. There are two sets of laser coders 11 and code readers 12 arranged symmetrically and distributed on the upper and lower sides of the coding part 18 of the butterfly cover.
[0026] In the above scheme, the frame 3 provides installation space for the clamping and conveying assembly 4 through the first relief groove 9, and the butterfly cover coding part 18 is fully exposed through the second relief groove 10; when the butterfly cover is conveyed to the position of the laser coder 11, the upper and lower sets of laser coders 11 simultaneously code the upper and lower sides of the coding part 18, and then convey it to the position of the code reader 12, where the upper and lower sets of code readers 12 simultaneously identify the codes on both sides.
[0027] The design of the clearance slot ensures that the layout of each component is reasonable and does not interfere with each other; the two sets of laser code generators 11 set up symmetrically set up can achieve simultaneous coding on both sides, and the two sets of code readers 12 can achieve simultaneous reading on both sides. Compared with the traditional secondary coding and secondary reading method, the process time is greatly shortened, the production efficiency is improved, and the positional deviation caused by flipping is avoided, thus improving the coding and reading accuracy.
[0028] The conveying speed of the clamping and conveying assembly 4 is greater than that of the vibratory feeder 1. The clamping and conveying assembly 4 includes an upper electric clamping belt 5 and a lower electric clamping belt 6, which move synchronously. After the vibratory feeder 1 conveys the butterfly cover to the track exit, the upper electric clamping belt 5 and the lower electric clamping belt 6 move synchronously to clamp the butterfly cover. Because its conveying speed is faster than that of the vibratory feeder 1, the butterfly covers being continuously conveyed naturally have a gap between them. The speed difference ensures that the butterfly covers do not overlap or squeeze each other, avoiding mutual interference during coding and reading; the synchronous movement of the upper and lower belts ensures uniform clamping force, preventing the butterfly covers from tilting or falling off during conveying, and improving conveying stability.
[0029] The limiting component includes a limiting track 7 arranged along the conveying direction of the butterfly cover. The limiting track 7 includes a bent limiting plate 8, which limits the edge of the butterfly cover. The limiting track 7 extends along the conveying path, and the bent limiting plate 8 fits against the edge of the butterfly cover, continuously restricting its lateral displacement during conveying, ensuring that the butterfly cover always moves along the preset trajectory, guaranteeing the consistency of coding and reading positions, improving the coding pass rate, and reducing defective products caused by positional deviations.
[0030] This solution also includes a rejection assembly, which comprises a pneumatic rejection element 13 and a receiving trough 14 disposed opposite to the pneumatic rejection element 13. After the barcode reader 12 identifies a defective butterfly cap (e.g., barcode recognition failure), a signal is transmitted to the control system, triggering the pneumatic rejection element 13 to actuate and blow the defective product into the corresponding receiving trough 14. Qualified products then continue along the conveyor path into subsequent processes.
[0031] The butterfly-shaped double-sided coding device in this solution is also equipped with a touch screen 16 and a display screen 17. The touch screen 16 is mainly used to realize human-machine interaction, allowing operators to set and adjust equipment parameters. The display screen 17 is mainly used to display the equipment's operating status and data in real time.
[0032] This solution's butterfly cap double-sided coding device achieves simultaneous double-sided coding and data acquisition through symmetrically arranged laser coding and reading units, eliminating the need for traditional secondary coding and flipping processes, significantly improving efficiency and avoiding the impact of posture deviations on accuracy. The clamping and conveying components work together with the limiting components to ensure stable and offset-free butterfly cap transport, improving the coding pass rate. The speed difference design avoids product overlap interference, and the rejection component automatically and accurately separates defective products, reducing labor costs.
[0033] Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art and related fields based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
